Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets Real Estate Finance led the transaction, with the deal team headed by Walker Layne, managing director of Capital Markets Real Estate Finance, alongside Austin Sneed and Tyler Evenson.

The loans were structured as flexible floating-rate bridge financing arranged with multiple debt fund lenders. Walker & Dunlop said the structure was designed to provide Madison Capital Group with additional flexibility as the firm continues to execute its multifamily investment strategy.
